Widespread reports this week on the health of EDDIE VAN HALEN.
Rumours have been gathering in recent weeks and the damn finally broke when TMZ reported that the legendary guitarist has been traveling back and forth to Germany for throat cancer treatment.
There has been no official response from the VAN HALEN camp, but I can confirm that the information posted is accurate. Eddie was diagnosed with throat cancer some time back now and has been travelling to Europe for at least the last 12-18 months seeking the best and most up to date treatments available.
I was told the treatments have helped and he's doing better currently. That is up to date info.
What I can add is confirmation that select VAN HALEN tour dates being planning were scuttled earlier this year when Eddie pulled the plug to concentrate on his health.
We wish Eddie all the very best with his treatment and recovery.
